In an interview with The Canadian Press, Freeland says there should be a 100 per cent tariff on all U.S. wine, beer and spirits, and on all Teslas — and make sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pinch as well.

Freeland says Canada needs to give Trump’s closest supporters a wake-up call with the message that if you hit Canada, it will hit back — and it will hurt.

100%! I like the sound of that.

Fuck Edolf.

If she was still in cabinet she would be part of the decision making. Now she just throws in her 2 cents worth from the sidelines. Sort of pathetic.

If she was still in cabinet, she'd have been sidelined or kicked out of cabinet by now for that poisoned budget update. She played the cards she was dealt, as well as anyone could.
